My new iPhone can do many things, like check the weather for me. Yesterday, I politely asked Siri what the weather was going to be like this week, and she told me a really sad story.
Rain, rain, and more rain.
I know, I know. London = rain. I knew that when I moved here, I've just been living in a fairytale world until now. My powers to hold on to the sun are waning, and the sun is fading out of my life for who knows how long. *sigh* Today was the first of several consecutive rainy days to come. The sky is one solid sheet of greyish white. The air is heavy, the ground is damp and slick. This is only the beginning.
Yesterday, I was excited for the change in weather. I listened to the rain fall outside all through the night, and it lulled me to sleep. But today, I'm feeling quite melancholy and I'm blaming this entirely on the lack of blue in my sky. The sun rose this morning at 7, and it will set today at 4:25. Soon it will be dark by 3. That's going to be strange.
This is the song that perfectly accents my mood today. It's beautiful, wonderful, soothing, and it suits the weather as well.
Tomorrow, if this weather persists as Siri says it will, I will don my kick-ass wellies and jump in puddles. I will dance in the rain and try to find happiness in the grey/white blanket overhead. Tomorrow I will change my attitude toward rainy weather. But today, I will wallow in my present feelings of melancholy and try to get some studying done.
